Customer reviews
Best keyboard cover for Macbooks out there 
by .. S.R. (NY)
Pros-
-VERY thin, I hardly notice that it's installed. Unlike those silicone covers.
-Keyboard lights up clearly, doesn't impede the light at all.
-Takes 2 minutes to get used to. It definitely doesn't feel like a bare keyboard but it doesn't feel like it's a covered keyboard either.
Cons-
-Kinda pricey for a very thin piece of industrial plastic. The price might be high due to the fact that its molded SPECIFICALLY for macbook keyboards. Because it's an EXACT fit.
-DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT fold or crush this cover. keep the original box if you need to store it away. Unlike silicon this product WILL WRINKLE. I decided to clean mine because it does feel sticky after long term use. I cleaned it with soap and water and i decided to WRING it out. WHAT A BIG MISTAKE. the product had wrinkles that would not disappear. I was too cheap to buy a new one so i have to live with annoying wrinkles.
Other than that..this is hands down the best keyboard cover for macs out there and not a lot of people know about it.
Best one I've tried by .. John S. Dean (Sturtevant, WI United States)
I got one to try after three or so months of using a standard silicone cover that included the palm guard, so this is a direct pro/con of the two different ones.
First, this one is much easier to type on. Not that it was difficult to type on the other, you just had to be a little more deliberate. Really the only trouble I had typing consistently was my password, which is 15 characters, and I can type it instantly on a normal keyboard, but moving that fast on the silicone sometimes didn't quite let the characters register right. The other downside to the full silicone one was that it didn't fit very well - the silicone hung over the sides and front, so it was easy to catch while moving my hands around, or my sleeves would lift the edge enough to make it start rolling up under me. And since I do touch type, sometimes the little bit of stick of the palms on the palmguard part of the silicone would keep the hand from moving quite where I wanted it to be. I adapted to it within a few days, and for the last three plus months I've used it, but now having used this moshi one, I wish I had switched sooner.
This one, being thinner, is obviously going to feel better than the thicker silicone one, but I wasn't quite ready for how unobtrusive this would feel now. It's almost completely unnoticable.
The lights shine through it well, much better than the thicker silicone one. I pulled half of that one off the other night and was shocked at how they keyboard looked lit up without it. I had forgotten how nice the keyboard can look.
These keyboard covers are a necessity for me since I use the notebook so much - my keyboards never last more than a week without becoming ugly from some of the keys becoming so smooth. Granted, these won't obviate that completely, but they will slow it down, and after 3 months, my keyboard is not shiny at all, where normally i can't get 10 days with the keys no longer looking this well.
Now that I don't have the thicker silicone overhanging the sides, the lid closes better as well, even with my shaggymac on top of the keys to keep the screen from getting marked up.
I am very happy with this product. I've seen people talk about the fit being "perfect" and mine certainly is not, but the only keys that didn't get covered almost spot on were all the function keys across the top. I'm kind of waiting to see if things fit themselves over use, if it conforms a little better where it didn't fit out of the box, but it's off only enough to keep the cover from sitting flat across the very top, so it doesn't interfere with my typing at all.
Would definitely get this again, and will replace it whenever it needs to be replaced...
Edit: In July, finally am replacing this. Mine got some discoloration on a few of the keys where heat builds up, and the rest of it was getting pretty worn (I use my macbook for work and personal so i'm on it most of the day). NOT a detraction at all from the item, it lasted this long with my keyboarding, it clearly is an outstanding product. But time to get a nice clean, clear one again.
Great Keyboard Cover by .. Z. Rogers (South-East MI, USA)
Keyboard looks bare unless in direct sunlight. Doesn't impede typing at all after the initial 'stickiness' wears off. Looks like it could blow away in the slightest of breezes, but has stayed on my keyboard for over six months. Wash with soap and water, let air dry and you're good to go. I've recommended it to many people, those who bought it agree that it's a good investment. Keeps your keyboard from getting shiny and could be the saving grace in the event of a spill.
Great product by .. Lisa Mcclellan ()
I am always weary about buying products so I always read reviews and with this product the reviews were mixed so I was skeptical. However, I really enjoy this cover. I would consider myself an average keyboard user and I really cannot notice a difference when the cover is on. In fact I would almost venture to say that the keyboard feels even more comfortable with the cover. It fits my MacBook Pro 13 inch perfectly!
Great protector by .. aksiinaon ()
I bought this Moshi protector after returning another one I'd bought from the Apple store (that one was a generic silicon). I love this protector.
The good:
- Quiets the sound of typing, no more annoying clanks
- Fits almost perfectly
- Very clear, not milky like other "clear" ones
The bad:
- Expensive
- The fit is great on all the keys except the function keys (my friend has an older Mac model, and this cover fits exactly to hers. The function keys on the 13" pro are a bit smaller
